| I have been in a
lifetime training program for this profession, and I think I have
the best job in the fashion industry. This is where
it all comes together. I love clothes and care passionately about
all the details thereof -- the quality, the materials, the design. They
come alive when introduced to the right person in the right context
at the right time.
My clients and the people I work with inspire me. Color
moves me. I am interested in the past, present, and future
of how we dress from both a technical and cultural perspective.
I founded AB/WW in the rigid “dress for success” era
of the early ’80s. I believed in a different approach – in
using the power of personal style and the fashion products available
to create a unique image. My clients immediately felt better, were
more successful, and had more fun. The rest is history!
• MY CREDENTIALS
Annie Brumbaugh, AICI CIP: Association of Image Consultants
International, Certified Image Professional
I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and hold
a bachelor’s degree in anthropology. I studied fashion
design at St. Martin’s College of Art in London before establishing
my own atelier in Marrakech, Morocco. Items from those collections
appeared in Harpers & Queen and Newsweek.
In 1984, I founded AB Wardrobe Works in New York City. While
I work on a confidential basis with many high-profile people here
and abroad, most of my clients are successful professionals who
rely on me to interpret fashion for them on an ongoing basis.
In addition, I speak on wardrobe-related topics and teach the
AB/WW method of personal consulting.
I
have been a member of the Association of Image Consultants International
since 1986 and served on its Board 2004-6. I
also belong to Fashion Group International. In my role as a stylist,
I have appeared on network radio and TV and in such publications
as Vogue, More, The Wall
Street Journal and The Denver
Post.
